For home: - Linode. Got the 1024 for $40/month. I'm pretty happy it fits my usage. Host my home websites, email, vpn, etc. For work: Our customers are mostly in New Zealand so it's a real pain. US based providers are cheap but slow to access while NZ providers are expensive (especially for international traffic) and there is a lot less choice. We are finishing rolling out a new GSLB provider ( 3crowd, recommend ) so we can effectively deal with them separately. Having said that we use the following mainly to serve international customers and NZ overflow: - Singlehop - Nice, cheap dedicated servers, new servers are deployed in ~3 hours and fairly reliable. Nice user interface and good spec for the price. - Serverloft - Not quite as good but still pretty cheap. Deployment was slower last time but no real problems. - Amazon Cloudfront - Playing around with it. Bandwidth is too expensive for day-to-day usage but great for overflows. NZ customers hit California or Singapore so a bit slow although there are rumours of an Australian site coming at some point. I'm tempted to move the prod/dev environment to a US-based cloud but the latency/bandwidth constants from NZ->US means that files uploads/downloads for devs and internal customer's are probably too slow.
